Jamon y Queso

Okay, so I enjoyed the ham and cheese sandwiches we had our three mornings at the B&B in Buenos Aires. That, with eggs, homemade bread and jams and peanut spreads, pastries, alfajores, yogurt and fruit was enough to get a girl going in the morning. I was starting to get a little tired of ham and cheese when we had it for lunch today, but at least it was jamon crudo.

But now I'm drowning in ham and cheese. We wanted to eat a little earlier, so we went to one of the only two places in town open before 9 pm. It was a casual cantina with the bonus of an outdoor spinning area in the back. (Yes, an illuminated spin pit where you could watch spinners while you ate.)

I ordered the vegetarian sandwich, and Jim wanted the empanada with cheese and sundried tomato. "Sorry, we're out. We have ham and cheese. " How about a salad? "Okay, it comes with nice ham and cheese on it. " I give up - we ordered the beef empanada and steak sandwich. We shouldn't have been surprised - the steak sandwich came with ham and cheese. We're told breakfast at our inn tomorrow will be sandwiches and bakery goods - I could only guess what the sandwich will be. (Sure enough, the next morning brought another ham sandwich.)

We ate our ham, cheese and steak and hurried out because our waiter wanted to go to spin class. After all this ham and cheese I should have joined him.
